A list of what I give POTUS credit for and which missteps should be remedied

@zonavar68 I made this table.

@SunshineGirl Not at all a fellow traveller. Anyways, the international markets don’t distrust the reforms they distrust the Argentinian people - and rightly so - this currency swap should be seen as a hedge against the volatility of the Argentinian electorate amidst painful but necessary structural reforms and adjustments.

@CedricH An interesting interpretation . .

You can't just ignore 46m people. Getting consent and support for economic reform is the tricky part of government, that Milei does not seem to have mastered.

@SunshineGirl I think that’s a fair and astute observation on your part but it can be applied equally to all reform-oriented Argentinian Presidents of the last 30 years, Carlos Menem, Mauricio Macri and Milei. It would help if Milei had solid legislative majorities in Congress, just as Thatcher did in the 1980s. Alas, he does not.

@ron122 And cheeto's tariffs have RISEN prices, OPPOSITE of what the orangutang promised us.

@NativePortlander1970 … that‘s precisely why they‘re listed as a misstep that should be remedied immediately.

@NativePortlander1970 it won’t happen overnight, we will have to wait and see. The prices are even more outrageous because they were already high under the Biden administration and them raising a little more makes it seem outrageous
